Why is beer so expensive in Rome?
“In Italy beer is more expensive if you compare it to the price of wine. This happens mainly because of the taxes,” Francesca Morbidelli, who writes about Italian craft beer at Pinta Medicea, says. Big tax breaks that provide assistance to Italian winemakers do not apply to the country's brewers.
Is alcohol cheap in Italy?
Depends on the restaurant. But in a casual restaurant 3 to 4 euros for a glass of wine is about right, 6 euros for a beer. We went to a few osterias and trattorias in Rome where the price of a liter of the house wine (vino casa) was under 10 euro.
